CSB alters program

Orientation Assistants help freshmen adjust

With a touch of subtlety and a lot of hard work, Orientation Assistants become an integral part of the lives of each CSB freshman.

Stephanie Palubicki, Orientation Director, is the woman behind the 43 orientation assistants involved in the program which has been restructured this year. The changes can best be described as personalization.

A major change was to develop a comprehensive program which now incorporates the orientation needs of freshmen, transfer, re-admitted and foreign students.

According to Palubicki, an attempt has also been made to include college cultural activities in the program. Social activities have always been a big

part of orientation.

"When a new student comes to St. Benedict's, she has many adjustments to make. Her social and academic competence has to be dealt with immediately, but college offers so much more," Palubicki said.

For this reason the program, which in past years has lasted approximately three to five days, has been expanded over a period of six to eight weeks.

"The lifestyle herejs resident-based. The adjustment process cannot be packed into days as the student needs time to absorb activities, environment and people in order to retain more of the philosophy and personal goals one sets as a member of this community."

Quartet to appear

The Dave Brubeck Quartet, one of this country's leadingjazzgroups, will perform on Oct. 5 in the BAC auditorium.

The quartet consists of Brubeck on piano, Randy Jones on drums, Jerry Bergonzi playing tenor saxophone and Brubeck's son Chris on bass and trombone.

Dave Brubeck began composing and performing in the early 1950's, making tradition-breaking appearances with symphony orchestras. His "Time Out" album, recorded in I960, was the first jazz recording to sell a

million copies.

His explorations of harrnqnies and his use of unorthodox time signatures continue to have great influence on contemporary music.

The quartet has made several international appearances, recorded a well-received album and taped a oner hour PBS television special, "The Dave Brubeck Quartet at Snowbird."

Tickets for the 8 p.m. performance are $7 for adults, students and senior citizens. Children are charged $2.50. Call the BAC at 363-5777 for ticket reservations.

Department Conducts Book Sale

Once again the English Department has started out their year's activities with a "Book & Plant Sale." This year's sale was held in the HAB Lobby last Tuesday and Wednesday.

The sale, organized by Sister Mara Faulkner, was an effort to make money for various department projects. Members of the English Department donated used books and homegrown plants which were then offered to students, faculty, and staff at reduced prices.

Ideally, money generated from this sale will be used toward a project which has educational value and at the same time may be a sort of social event for the faculty members.

Ms. Palubicki is "very pleased with the efforts of the orientation assistants and considers them highly competent. It is with sincerity that they greet new students and form relationships of some depth."
